Sorry, my response was to your first paragraph of the post in which I had quoted. Where you mentioned you were considering buying it.
The game is a mess and unless you want to support such work, I'd stay away from it.
Then again.... apparently the world is upside down anyway...

Thanks for the clarification Mrmagoo. I'm going to take your advice. I thought this might be the year I finally got off of NHL '11!

Maybe I'll get the PS3 version of this game...

It dawned on me that we have seen exactly what has happened with this patch and its effects on the game happen before. It even happened the last time the Kings won the cup.

That year EA put out a demo with the Kings and Devils and the gameplay was the best it had been in quite some time. The game launched and it was a pretty decent representation of hockey. It didn't take long until the online community bitched and EA jumped in with tuners and a patch that turned that game into exactly what we are playing now with this patch.

No. You have to dl both. But offline you can change back to version 1.00, but online you're screwed.

As for as v1.03, the whole game is based now on luck/chance. Skill does not matter.

Tried to play a GM mode game tonight, and about a minute in, nope. Shut the damn thing off. For those who are familiar with my posts through the years, know i've had a pretty positive view of NHL the last several years. But imo at this point, NHL 15 NG 's gameplay just sucks. These constant cheap goals, and absolutely freaking brain dead ai, is killing my will to play is thing. (End rant)

Save yourself a headache and if you have a ps3 or x360, trade current gen NHL 15 in for last gen NHL 15. I was stupid and purchased the digital copy of NHL 15 current gen.. but I haven't played it at all since getting the last gen version.

AHL teams that play their games, game play that's been refined, heck.. just hearing "let's go blues" last night playing a game was music to my ears.

Or save yourself the money and just play NHL 11-14 cause it's the exact same game, more or less.

NHL has been shelved in my house since the patch. I'll dust it off to try OTP, but if that is lame like I imagine it will be then I'm probably done with the game. Played well over 1000 games every year, will be lucky to crack 100 with NHL 15 at this pace.
